East Asian Languages Collection Moving to Second Floor of Shields Library
Pardon our dust while we mooove a few things around this summer
The library is preparing to shift the locations of certain materials on the first and second floors of Shields Library during summer 2024: consolidating collections in H-HX (Social Sciences) on the second floor of Shields Library; moving collections in J (Political Science) to join H-HX; and relocating collections in K (Law) to join L (Education).
This consolidation will allow us to move the East Asian Languages Collection from its current location on the east end of the first floor of Shields into the space on the second floor where J-K had previously been. In this new location, the East Asian collection will be exposed to less natural light, which can damage books over time. The collection will also have a larger footprint in its new space, allowing it to continue to grow.
The library aims to complete this work before classes begin in Fall 2024.
